Won’t recognize API Key

    I see the developer has said that it won’t work without a “physical address,” but this shop does have a physical address registered with Google.

    I am getting error after error, “Query Over Limit” “No Reviews Found” etc. It could be a user error since I this is the first I setup a Google API key, but following the video provided for documentation got me nowhere.

    Any suggestions?

    You usually get that error when the API Key doesn’t have an active billing account tied to it. Check it here…

    By adding a billing account to use this plugin… if we only need to embed Google reviews will we be billed anything by Google? I believe that is not the case and this is similar to a required billing account to embed Google Maps on a website but cannot find a firm yes or no. Thank you!

    No, you only get charged when downloading the reviews in the plugin. Google provides $200 a month in free api calls which is plenty to use the plugin.

    Do you know how much they charge per review download? Need to supply information to a client so I want to be as thorough as possible. Thanks so much!

    It only makes one call to grab the reviews. Looks like you can make around 1,000 calls for $17.
